Draft position be damned...I wanna see the young guys compete.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that all the under 25 players are playing well. I'm thrilled that they are all looking like NHL players moving forward.
It's just that we desperately need a potential franchise player type among our prospects and that won't be feasible if we're picking 6th or 7th (unless we risk Nichushkin).
I don't want the Flames to become Edmonton (prolonged sucking), so we need to be able to get some elite talent in this team somehow, as we are seeing the emergence of some really good secondary players (Horak, Reinhart, Backlund)
